This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
.

1. How long have you been involved with SorceryNet? How long have you been on IRC in general?

2. Why do you feel your server should become part of SorceryNet?

3. Please list any previous IRC Network staff experience you may have. Please include the network(s) and server(s) that you had this experience on.

4. What IRCops do you have in mind? Please tell us a little about them and make sure to include any past IRCop experience they may have had as well as why you chose them.

5. How much active time would you estimate you will be able to dedicate to this network per week? This means actually paying attention to IRC; idling does not count.

6. What kind of duties and obligations do you feel you should have as a Server Admin, in regards to other network staff and the userbase as a whole?

7. Do you have anything you would like to add that you haven't yet been able to tell us? If so, please describe.

Section 4: Supplementary Files

Please attach to this application 1 traceroute and 2 sets of ping results from your machine to each of the current SorceryNet client servers and hubs. Note that you will need to speak to admins of the current dedicated hubs to get an IP/hostname to traceroute to, as the *.sorcery.net names of our dedicated hubs are redirected to the pools.

The traceroute may be done at any time of day. For the pings, you should use 100 1024 byte packets (ping -s 1024 -c 100). To give a valid overview of your connectivity to our other servers, the pings should be done at two different times of day, within an hour of 12pm GMT, 8pm GMT, or 2am GMT.

When you submit your application, please be sure that you have 1 traceroute and 2 ping set to each server. Please collect the results and send them all at once. Please also include ONLY the summary results for pings (ping -q). Applications without all of this information will not be accepted. Applications which contain icmp_seq's will not be processed until they are removed.
